Wash jeans at 30 to a maximum of 40 degrees
The motto is: the colder, the better for your jeans. They don't like heat. Ideally, you can wash your jeans at 30, max. 40 degrees maximum. However, take a look at the jeans label to be on the safe side.

The normal wash program is usually sufficient. If you want to be on the safe side, opt for the delicate wash cycle, especially if your jeans have a high stretch content. We recommend 800 to a maximum of 1000 revolutions.
